Explain Your Handle

Mine should be pretty easy to guess.
We have an aqua(Thunderbird Blue) colored T Bird with a white top.

This thread reminds me of the one part in the movie STRIPES when the guys are sitting around telling something about themselves.
And all I can say is that I wanna party with you guys, but keep your hands off me and my stuff.

A weird word I ran across one day. I don't even remember what I was looking for when I found it. I thought at the time it might make a good user name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore

Actually, if it were feasible, I'd probably change it.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Ace was an early high school nickname and 73 was the year I graduated!

Because I'm a spec ops operator who uses a Sig, or maybe it was because I saw a movie about spec ops guys who use Sigs.

Sigh. When I joined I had recently seen RED. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Had I known more about the forum I would have done something simple and cryptic.
Like Zero.

ontmark

It is used on several gun forums and was my online poker handle.

It just seems to fit both places and I hate remembering different usernames.

Are you on your mark when you are aiming at something, or the hand in Poker you are trying to draw to, or your marker on a Texas Hold’em table?

I know a lot of people think I am Mark from Ontario.

Elk Hunter

I grew up in North Idaho and took my first elk at age 14. Took one in the next 2 years as well. Went in the army at age 17 (at age 17) and have only been back to Idaho hunting 3 times since.

Did get an elk each time.

Patrick-SP2022

My middle name, which is what everyone calls me, and my first pistol.

I don't use my first name because as v-tail mentioned in another thread...
I am full-blooded <insert name of your favorite American Indian tribe>. In my tribe it is traditional to name a new-born child for the first thing that the mother sees after giving birth. My older brother is 'Peaceful Lake,' and my younger sister is 'Running Deer.' My name is 'Two Dogs Fucking'."

Sigmoid,

I had about 12" of my large intestine and Sigmoid colon removed too due to diverticulitis.

My handle is my Alias for Cowboy Action Shooting. It is just easier to use the same name for my online dealings.

Super original.
It's my user name on several forums, and what most of my friends in the "real world" call me.

I get your handle - makes sense. What the hell does your location mean? It's been driving me nuts for a long time. I get the FL/GOM being a Florida native. I just cant figure out the "danger semi-circle" part out. I'm sure I'll feel like an idiot when you tell me. Feel free to email me privately if you don't want to disclose it here for OPSEC reasons. The only guess I ever came up with was hurricane/cyclone winds.

I'm some sort of born hurricane magnet, I am always finding myself in the "danger semicircle" of tropical cyclones. My actual house (the most recent one, not yet destroyed by a hurricane) is actually near Sebastian, FL.
